Pros

Top quality work with top quality legal minds; good reputation for post-employment prospects if you can take the horrible working conditions long enough; the compensation is good per year, but not per hour

Cons

Extreme sweatshop; ineffective support staff; no expectation that associates have or should want to have any other interests; the big cases leave little room for interesting work until you get to be more senior; huge egos
